I once threw a party in high school. We had I think four television (one huge plasma and three CRTs of various sizes) going on the main floor with a ps2, an xbox (360?), a wii, and a gamecube and then we had another console going on the projector in the basement, possibly a gamecube. About twenty something of my male nerd friends showed up. I got through most of the coop career mode in Guitar Hero 3 on the ps2. I drank so much Mountain Dew. I think it might have been my birthday, but I'm not sure.
Being a nerd myself, I'd like to add a comment to the comic:
First of all, it's alright for the dad to be suspicious, especially since the son never mentioned what he will be doing all night. A true nerd has a point for an all-nighter; it's typically planned minutes in advance. Here's a a 'true' nerd party goes - it's an awful experience. This is coming from my younger years.
1) Every nerd at a 'nerd' party has their own interest, and wants everyone else to do what they want to do. For example, you have the Starcraft nerd, the Magic nerd, the D&D nerd, the Ultima nerd, and at least one or two random ass cousins that come along anyway that no one invited.
2) The person with the loudest voice, or who threatens to leave first if he doesn't get his way, inevitably gets his way. For example, Starcraft guy has convinced the group to play Starcraft by threatening to leave the party and calling everyone a 'fag'. Then, once playing Starcraft (after the merciful 20 min no rush), he kicks everyones ass, claims to be 'victorious' in an "I'm-never-getting-laid" voice, and then everyone sits in silence for at least an hour.
3) During the awkward silence time, it's okay to watch s**tty infomercials and talk about how nobody will buy the s**t, and then talk about YOUR ideas for an informercial. All of the devices include some form of flatulence.
4) By now, half of the group is sleeping. You decide to prank them for hours, before you realize you're sleepy too. You fall asleep.
5) Mom has brought in donuts. Your friends leave. One nerd makes the joke about how your mom is hot to her face.

My high school friends and I would have movie marathons or board game nights. I'm sure most of our parents thought we were out drinking...

We usually just played Goldeneye on the 64 until the sun came up.

I was thinking the same thing. I bet he doesn't remember Captain Planet.

I can tell how young you are by the gaming consoles you got to play. I thought I was young, but damn you - you're making me feel old.

Don't put Quake and DOTA in the same sentence ever again.

Yes it's better and probably a bit better for you than HFCS, but sugar ain't health food, buddy.

Once at a LAN we had some Mike's Hard Lemonade. Only enough for 1 bottle each, though...
